Had a laptop board in yesterday that kept shorting after a liquid spill clean, turned out the guy before me left a tiny piece of conductive foam under a chip.

Bet that foam was right on a power rail.

Honestly though, is a tiny bit of foam really enough to cause a full short? Seems like it would have to be in a very specific spot to bridge something important. Tbh I've seen boards run with way worse leftover junk after a clean. Maybe the short was from something else and the foam was just sitting there.
